2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!)
Poured a golden body with a big head that didn’t look all that good while collapsing. Very weak malty nose. Odd. Hops dominate this one, bitter, slightly piney taste and that’s pretty much all, very little real malt flavor (but not exactly watery too). Starts bitter, ends bitter. There are far better examples of this style around.

Bottle brown, 500 ml, 12P
Appearance: Pours nothing but golden in colour, not perfectly clear containing some sediment floating in the body texture and medium to lively carbonated. There is not big white head quite quickly decreasing to a minimal, rather no lacing at all, even though the head is small the beer looks better from its 10P counterpart.
Aroma: Bitter, citrusy, a bit flowery. Generally hoppy aroma is dominating over the whole impression. Some hints of chalkyness, talk, maltyness is not pronounced and hidden somewhere under the hoppyness.
Flavour: Front is soft, lively in terms of carbonation and definitely hoppy. there is all aromatic citrusy nose, than comes some maltyness and grains on the tongue. Carbonation on palate is felt lively. Finish duration is avrage, nice toasty, refreshing.
Palate: Body s light to medium, texture is wattery to dry, carbonation on palate is medium, finish feel is grainy, pronounced, distinctive and aromatic citrusy in nose.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cheap bottle from Prague Tesco. Brewed by Staropramen. Very fizzy wishy washy lager with rough smudge of bitterness in the swallow and lingering in the finish. Quite salty. Typical East European standard lager.

1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
500ml Can: For 80 Cents you wonder if you may have been ripped off when you smell skunky malts and sugar as the can is opened. The extremly popular bum/gypsy beer that I guess curiosity made me try....total crap. Pale straw and fizzy sweet adjunct. This beer is certainly nt retired since it was everywhere on this trip. Uggh.
